Everyone has heard of lasers, but hardly anyone outside of a physics lab or a science fiction novel has heard of a maser. Despite the fact that it was the precursor of the laser, the maser has been ...

A team of physicists has published a paper detailing how it developed the first ever maser to work at room temperature with the help of a homebaked crystal and a laser bought on eBay. Masers ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

Scientists from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Imperial College London demonstrate, for the first time, a solid-state 'MASER' capable of operating at room temperature, paving the way for ...

British researchers have, for the first time, built a prototype solid-state maser that works at room temperature, with no permanent applied magnetic field. Masers, which do the same thing with ...
